NNSA NEWS RELEASE
The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Los Alamos Field Office is proposing an easement agreement with the Pueblo de San Ildefonso to replace the overhead emergency notification sign located on NM 502 near Totavi.
The existing sign has been in place since 2011 and is located near the intersection of NM 502 and Guaje Canyon Road on Pueblo de San Ildefonso land. The sign was installed after the Cerro Grande Fire and is the best location to notify commuters who are coming up the hill of any emergencies or weather conditions/closures on roads leading to White Rock, Los Alamos and/or Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The electrical utility is located on Pueblo de San Ildefonso on the north side of NM 502.
LANL currently owns, operates, and maintains the overhead notification sign. The easement is 10-foot wide. The agreement would address the location of the sign and connection to the electrical utility to operate the sign for LANL employees and the public.
This proposed update to the cooperative agreement for the sign meets criteria for a categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act and requires no further NEPA action. More information is available at https://energy.gov/nepa/articles/cx-270713-emergency-notification-sign-nm502
